Additional information
This lamp mounting bracket, part number 705-5217, holds the headlamp in position so light is directed where you need it while operating the snowblower in low-light conditions. A secure bracket helps prevent vibration and keeps the lamp properly aligned.
If the headlamp feels loose, shifts while operating, or will not stay aimed correctly, the mounting bracket may be bent, cracked, or missing hardware. Excessive vibration can also point to a weakened or damaged bracket.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Position the bracket correctly, then tighten all mounting hardware evenly so the lamp remains stable and properly aimed.
